None of the states really liked it. They made gold, silver, and continental money, but people didn't accept it. Plus, they had to pay back debts from the Revolution to the people who fought in war, so they needed a new way to make money, so that at least nine out of the thirteen states approved the money.

how large was the delegation that met to revise the articles of confederation
Large states
Small states didnt like it because they wouldnt be represented well. The New Jersey Plan had equal representation for all states, but then large states were upset, so the Great Compromise met in the middle, one house with equal representation and one with representation determined by population.
Under the Articles of Confederation the American colonists fought and defeated Great Britain and gained independence. By the end of the "Confederation era," Congers had created a bureaucracy to administer the day-to-day affairs of the government. The issue over the western lands was solved under the Articles. The large states holding vast amounts of western land ceded the land to the government under the Articles so that all the states could share in the wealth of those lands. The Northwest Ordinances were passed that provided for the creation of equal, self governing states in the Northwest Territories and the newly created states would have the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states. Congress also provided for a survey of the western lands to prepare the land for sale to all. Under the Articles, the states were held together until a new government under the Constitution was created. The new nation began to emerge as one respecting the ideas that had caused the Revolutionary War in the first place.

The Articles of Confederation were revised, said to be too large to take in and was unusable to salvage, and the U.S Constitution was written.
Large states
There was an issue of representation of states in congress.
The articles did not allow the government to tax its people, thus forcing the government to reley on donations from the states. Also, under the articles there was only a one house legislation which did not satisfy states like Virginia who had a large population. So in the constitution a two house legislature was created, the senate and house of representatives.
